Agri Health Calf Nylon Collar for Young Cattle
Description
Agri Health Calf Nylon Collar - Hardwearing Handling Collar for Young Stock
The Agri Health Calf Nylon Collar is an adjustable nylon webbing neck collar made for calves and young cattle. It is used on farms, smallholdings and livery yards for leading, tying, routine handling and identifying individual animals within a group.
Nylon is the standard choice for calf collars because it shrugs off wet and mud, wipes clean quickly and keeps its shape through a busy season in the calf shed. This collar is best for stockkeepers who want a simple, durable collar for daily handling rather than a decorative or show item.
Key Features
- Nylon webbing: hardwearing, quick to clean and suited to wet and muddy farm conditions
- Adjustable fit: can be let out as young stock grow, so the collar stays in service longer
- Flat, smooth webbing: sits close to the neck to help reduce rubbing during short periods of wear
- Everyday handling: leading, tying, restraint during health checks and stock identification
- One-person fitting: straightforward to put on and take off without extra help

How to Use
- Restrain the calf safely and calmly, ideally with a second person or in a handling pen.
- Pass the collar around the neck, sitting it high enough to stay clear of the shoulder.
- Fasten securely, then check you can fit two fingers between the webbing and the neck.
- Lead or tie using a clip or rope attached to the collar, never by pulling on the webbing itself.
- Check the fit at least weekly as the calf grows and let the collar out as required.
- Remove, rinse and dry naturally after muddy use, and store somewhere dry.

FAQ
What is the Agri Health Calf Nylon Collar used for?
It is a nylon neck collar for calves and young cattle, used for leading, tying, holding stock during routine checks and identifying individual animals in a group.
How tight should a calf collar be?
You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck. Any tighter and it may rub or restrict the animal; any looser and it can slip over the head or catch on fittings.
Will it still fit as the calf grows?
The collar is adjustable, so it can be let out as the animal grows. Young stock grow quickly, so check the fit at least weekly and adjust before it becomes tight.
Can the collar be left on all the time?
It is intended for handling rather than permanent unsupervised wear. If you do leave collars on housed stock, inspect them regularly for tightness, wear and damage.
How do I clean a nylon calf collar?
Brush off dried mud, rinse in cool water and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not put it near a radiator or heater, as this can weaken the webbing.
When should I replace it?
Replace the collar if the webbing frays, the stitching pulls apart or the fastening no longer holds securely.
